I've had 3 bulging discs for the past 3.5 weeks. I'm so sick of it. I've had a bad back for about 8-9 years and every few months it flairs up. It usually only lasts a few days though. Apart from anything else it has been SO expensive! I've tried to only take a few days off work, but the Dr bills, the CT scan, and the physio are all adding up. Thank ( Read more... )

I took Abi to the Royal Show on the first Saturday it was open. I wasn't in Perth to take her last year, but I took her the year before that and she loved it. Because her parents are from South Africa they don't really know what the 'Standard Perth Childhood Things To Do' are, so they just leave it up to me to take her places. Having said that, I ( Read more... )

Just got home from seeing Autumn Isles at The Rocket Room. They were really good. Very toe-tap-worthy. Perth spins me out ( do you like how I say that as though I've actually been to other places?) I was chatting to Christians new girlfriend Tenille, who is really good friends with a girl called Maree, who I used to work with AND she shared a house ( Read more... )

I had my 3-4 monthly appointment with my doctor last month and I had lost 9kgs since mid April, which is good. He said he doesn't want me losing more than 500g a week. I've got about another 15-20kgs to go before I'll be at my "ideal" weight. I'm 175cm which is pretty tall for a girl (I think?) so my goal weight is still a bit higher than most ( Read more... )

So, I asked Harry'sparents for the extra $3 an hour, and they said $1.50...so I'm staying with them while I look for a new job. Funny how things work out though because my other family who I've only been with for 6 months gave me a $3 an hour pay rise out of the blue. They said they wanted to make sure I was happy with them, and I said I was, and ( Read more... )

So most of the people close to me know that almost a year ago I had lapband surgery because I was Fatty McFatterson. It's been a pretty weird ride, but I'm SO glad I had it done. It's a very slow and steady process, so when I get to see changes I get very happy. For example, the other day I went to buy a new pair of jeans because mine were faded. I ( Read more... )

I had a lovely Easter break. I spent time with family and friends and relaxed. It was great ( Read more... )

Despite the weekend in Margaret River not being that great, I LOVED driving there and back. I wish I could have just kept on going. Roadtrips make me very, very happy. Chatting, listening to music, stopping at service stations and little stalls on the way is my idea of bliss. I really should do it more often. Maybe I'll go see one of College Fall's ( Read more... )

Here are a couple of pictures from the wedding. One of these days I'm going to take a photography course. I'd love to be able to take beautiful pictures. These will have to do for now.
